Rooted in Faith...

Many thanks to everyone who watched and sent messages and encouragement today.
It was a nice experience being on Charlotte Today and the folks there
could not have been more gracious or kind.
Here's the video from today's segment...
if you can't view the video, click HERE to watch. 

My sweet mom went with me and we met up with
Sheri Joseph and Kirsten Ashford from Levine Children's Hospital.
Sheri and I actually used to teach at the same elementary school 
so it has been a blessing to reconnect.
These ladies do phenomenal work for Levine and are instrumental in these stories of hope.
Colleen was wonderful makes live tv look so easy (but it's not!)

preparing before the show...
 more preparations in progress...
the segment about the Faith design on the Magnet Works products...
oops, we forgot to say that if you are here in Charlotte and you are interested in my original mixed media art, you can find them at FABO and also at Cotswold Marketplace.
You can see the Fruit of the Spirit Pear mixed media there in the background.
For those who watched and want to be notified when the garden products are available and where you can purchase them in the Charlotte area...please follow my blog,
Designing For The Soul, and you can also email me at 
multipleblessings@mac.com
Please put Magnet Works in the subject line 
and let me know you are interested in updates regarding this collection.
If you are reading this and you are a retailer, and you are interested in carrying 
these products in your store, thank you!
You too may contact me or contact Magnet Works directly at 
info@magnetworks.com
We'd be delighted to have you sell these lovely goods for a great cause!

And remember ANYONE can donate to The Sloan Chambers Fund here.

Here's the small garden flag (Faith Cross design)
I could cry just looking at this coming to fruition...seriously, my heart is so happy.

 
Here's the outdoor mat for the Faith design 
and I cannot even begin to tell you how heavy and well-made these mats are.
You have to get one for your home; they are simply the best.
And the cool part is that the center is an insert so you swap out new designs as you wish.
And here's the Faith design as the garden stake....
also very neat in that the design element is magnetic and you can change the design as you wish. 
 Here are some of the other samples the wonderful people at Magnet Works sent me...
wish we could have shown them all on the tv segment 
but just so glad they could spotlight the faith design for Sloan.
Also wish the folks from Magnet Works could have been on the show with me. 
It is largely because they said YES and were willing to be bold and literally step out in faith.
They are such lovely folks and I cannot wait to celebrate with them in their showroom in January.

This is the Let Your Light Shine design...
each design you see below will be on small garden flags, garden stakes and outdoor mats.
Happy cheer as you enter or leave your doorway, right?

This is the Be Still Before the Lord design...

 Peace...
and the doormat's border says 
Peace to all who enter
  and the Love design...
and I love how my watercolor shows through so well in this design.
Be Joyful Always design....
happy butterflies
They were cooking chili in the kitchen so the studio smelled fabulous on this cool gray morning.
Had fun meeting Eddie Money who was in Charlotte doing a music event tonight 
(The Jingle Bell Rock Tour) at the Music Factory. 

he was a hoot!

the gals and I enjoyed meeting Larry Sprinke....the weather man
Larry and the ladies...

Larry with the "Tail Wagger of the day up for adoption...
This is one of the catalog images from Magnet Works....

 Once again, if you don't know the story about how all this came to be
please grab a cup of coffee and read here.

Thank you Charlotte Today, for having me on the show!
Thank you Levine Children's Hospital, for partnering with us for the Sloan Chambers Fund.
Thank you Kate and Labron Chambers, for allowing us to remember Sloan in this way.
Thank you Magnet Works, for taking a leap of faith
and saying yes to blessing this family through your awesome products.
Thank you blog readers, Multiple Blessings' fans, friends and family...
thank you for your support and friendship.
Thank you God, for giving me this artistic gift
and multiplying the blessings from it over and over again like you do.
I am beyond grateful.

    I love the garden flags. I have one in my yard and I will have to be on the lookout for one of the flags.
